OMG GUYS IM SO STUPID. I THOUGHT I UPLOADED THIS YESTERDAY BUT I DIDNT. ANYWAYS, EVERYTHING BELOW I WROTE IN THE PERSEPCTIVE OF YESTERDAY.
Chapter 25
A shrill ringtone filled the air. Annabeth's head jerked up. She stumbled for her phone.
Percy cringed. "What is your ringtone?"
"Shut up, Percy." Annabeth rolled her eyes as she answered her phone. "Hello?"
Percy watched her expression change from laughing and smiling to surprise. "Silena, are you okay?" Percy raised an eyebrow. Now she looked worried. "Okay, okay, I can—no! Oh my goodness, no. But…why am I just finding out now?" Annabeth bit her lip. She slapped Percy's leg which he took as a sign to start the car. Annabeth blindly grabbed her seatbelt, "I'll be there in like ten minutes, okay?" Annabeth hung up.
Percy grabbed the steering wheel. "What?"
Annabeth looked panicky. "My friend, Silena, is having a baby, well, I mean, two babies but she's only about 8 months so they'll be premature and that's not okay."
Percy gave her a questioning look but started towards the hospital anyways. "Okay…Annabeth, you're so confusing."
"Uh huh." She leaned against the window.
"You better not open it," Percy warned.
Annabeth raised an eyebrow. "Open what? The window?"
"No," Percy said like that was the dumbest thing she could've said. "The door."
"What?"
"Don't open it."
"Why would I?"
"You would not believe how many times Olivia has opened the door when we're going down the highway." Percy sighed heavily.
Annabeth giggled. "What?"
"So, we're driving down the highway and Olivia's like, 'Oh look, a butterfly!' and I'm like 'That's nice Olivia.' And then I feel this, I don't know, huge gush of wind and the freaking door is open and I'm yelling at her to close the door."
Annabeth burst out laughing.
"And then another time she did it again because she wanted her hair to blow with the wind." Percy sighed loudly. "If you want your freaking hair to blow, open the damn window!"
Annabeth laughed harder.
"After that I put on the child lock so you can only open the door from the outside."
Annabeth raised an eyebrow. "Why didn't you do it the first time?"
Percy gave her a blank expression. "I was not aware such a thing existed."
Annabeth giggled but her expression dropped as the hospital came into view. Annabeth—whose hair magically came out of its ponytail—was tugging on her hair. "Percy, her husband Beckendorf—"
"Whoa, whoa, whoa," Percy said as he stopped at a red light. He looked at Annabeth. "Did you just say Beckendorf?"
Annabeth sighed, "I know, that's a weird name. It's his last name, not his first name. His first name is really—"
"Charles," Percy interrupted. "You knew Charles Beckendorf?" The car began to move again.
"How did you know him?" Annabeth inquired.
"I knew him when I was fifteen. And when I was eighteen I didn't see him again." Percy rounded into the hospital parking lot. "Your turn."
"We met at the U of C—California, that is."
"Oh." Percy parked the car.
"Yeah." Annabeth slipped out of the car. "Thanks for the ride."
"I feel like your chauffer."
Annabeth flashed him a thumbs up.
Percy looked towards the hospital. "Beck married Silena?"
"Yeah," Annabeth said. "You knew Silena too?"
"I wasn't great friends with her, but you could consider us acquaintances."
"Well, you'll get to see her." Annabeth grabbed his hand. "C'mon."
After an hour Percy left to pick up Olivia. And an hour after that, Aphrodite showed up. Katie, Travis and Conner showed up as well. Percy came back at ten p.m. and Silena gave birth to a boy and a girl. It was exactly 10:30. Silena smiled to Beckendorf. He stood by her side the whole time. Aphrodite held the boy and Annabeth held the girl. They both had light caramel skin and dark brown curls.
"What are you going to name them?" Katie asked.
Silena paused. "Bella means beautiful. And Marie was my grandmother's name."
Aphrodite smiled.
"So Bella Marie Beckendorf," Travis clarified.
Silena nodded. "And we'll name him Xavier Charles Beckendorf."
Beckendorf smiled lightly. When Percy and Beck first saw each other, they gave each other a 'man hug'. They hadn't seen each other in several years and Beck, for some reason, thought Percy had just disappeared off the face of the earth. Beck and Silena had also been dating back then, so his memories of Silena were coming back too. Percy was just glad to see them again.
"Bella Marie and Xavier Charles." Aphrodite sighed.
Percy glanced over to Annabeth who was smiling down at the baby she was holding. Percy didn't know if it was the hospital room or just the babies in general, but this seemed to bring back memories.
I AM SORRY THIS IS A CRAP CHAPTER AND I THREW IT IN FOR NO PURPOSE.
On another note, someone asked me if I could update on their birthday and of course I said yes.
So happy birthday to O smrt1! Aka, Adam.
Also, #neverforget
I visited New York when I was a baby just a couple of months after 9/11 happened. It's really sad. I saw a post on tumblr and I also wanted to mention that if a Muslim or someone is getting harassed, to 'shut that shit down'. That's just rude. But it's really sad. I'm going to be honest and say I don't know much, but I know enough.
My vacation was great. :)
I just started high school. :/
If any of you had a birthday in August or up to now, let me know, I'll give you a birthday wish. :)If anyone has an upcoming birthday, let me know.
Thanks for reading guys!
